CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 985

What must be considered for a locally switched FlexConnect AP if the VLANs that are used by the AP and client access are different?

Answer options

• A. The APs must be connected to the switch with multiple links in LAG mode.
• B. The native VLAN must match the management VLAN of the AP.
• C. The switch port mode must be set to trunk.
• D. IEEE 802.1Q trunking must be disabled on the switch port.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because for a FlexConnect AP to properly communicate with clients on different VLANs, the switch port must be set to trunk, allowing multiple VLANs to pass through. Option A is incorrect as multiple links in LAG mode are not required for FlexConnect operation. Option B is not relevant since the native VLAN does not need to match the management VLAN for this scenario. Option D is wrong because IEEE 802.1Q trunking must be enabled, not disabled, to facilitate VLAN tagging.
